Iranian President Ahmadinejad is expected to arrive in New York City late Friday or, early Saturday to address emergency UN Security Council meeting now slated for Saturday.

Ahmadinejad has promised to make new proposals for resolving the dispute over his country’s nuclear program when he appears at the United Nations.

But he again rejected international demands to suspend uranium enrichment.

Speaking in a French TV interview, the Iranian leader said the demanded freeze on enrichment, a process that can be used to produce fuel for power plants or material for atomic weapons - was illegal.

“We will make new proposals, good proposals,” he told France-2 television in an interview in Tehran. It was his first appearance on Western TV since UN sanctions were imposed on Iran in December.

“Our proposals will be based on rights and laws and on the inalienable rights of all nations. Not only on what the US or Great Britain wants,” he said, without offering specifics on the proposals.

“Uranium enrichment is legal. The American and British Security Council proposals are illegal,” Ahmadinejad said. “For us, it’s an illegal demand.”
